eli5: Why are herbivorous animals usually fatter/bigger than carnivorous animals?

You’ve gotta have a big ole tummy to digest all those plants to get the energy you need in a day.
Herbivorous animals look “fat” because they need a large digestive system. Cows eat grass, it gets cut in small pieces and disolved so the bacteria can break down the celluloce in the feed. The reason why they don’t need protein in their food is that they get it from digesting the bacteria in the gut.
